Abstract
In this paper, white pixel percentage (WPP) value, as an overall measure of fold crack damages, has been analysed with respect to selected parameters of sample preparation and digitalization process, as well as the results of residual tensile strength. The WPP values were derived by an automated image processing algorithm, developed earlier, based on extensive comparative analysis of the existing computer-aided methods. Results indicate that WPP values correlate well with the extent of fold cracks on the coated samples, as far as the used parameters of sample preparation and digitalization are concerned. In the case of correlation with residual tensile strength, results for samples folded in cross direction revealed that the extent of the visually registered fold cracks agree well with the actual damage, while for samples folded in machine direction, the overall strength losses weren’t alarming, although the fold cracks were detected correctly. In addition, results pointed out that the simplest sample placement position (inner angle of 180°) is not applicable for realistic sample representation. Furthermore, scanners could provide a superior image quality in lab conditions, but for industry application, a camera-based solution would be more purposeful, while micrographs are more suitable for traditional visual analysis.Keywords
